Ted, <50 years of data say the rich keep getting richer. I don't understand why that factoid doesn't make an impression on you.>

I'm not really sure how to tackle that problem, except by making a firm commitment to education, free trade, and family values. The dumber the poor get, the more they'll allow themselves to be exploited by the rich.

But I DON'T believe that government should artificially fix that problem by tilting taxes even more heavily toward the rich. It hurts the honest rich people, and the dishonest ones will become even more so. Meanwhile, it makes poor people more dependent on government than on themselves, and we regress further into a welfare state.
